 Bread Manna November 19, 2007

Simply they're BEST record... less commercial then all the rest.
The tri fold album design will be a classic in Rock n Roll cover art.
Scoop it up while you can. There are good songs here that do not show up
on the best of CD releases, the cover concept by photographer Robert L Heimall is a work of art. The fidelity of the recording, as with most Elektra releases of that time is outstanding.
These guys knew how to record and produce. In Tribute... Take Comfort!
great album for breadheads December 14, 2000
I have to admit I love Bread. This album is a great addition for those who wish to add on to anthology or retrospective. The hit "if" is here, but there are also songs you won't find anywhere else such as "what a change", and the beautiful piano and violin in "come again". There are some duds here, but what other bands can say they had 10 top 20 hits and 7 top 40 albums in less than three years?

Not sure about why you should buy this album?
Here's what I think of the songs (bear in mind i have a sweet tooth for vocal melody and cool instrumentation):
1. Let your love go: Catchy as hell and a good rock tune
2. Take Comfort: Good strong guitar riff and it goes into some jefferson airplane space out parts tempered with strings... love those rock harmonies
3. Too Much Love: another one of their strong and sweet melodies
4. If: everyone who knows Bread knows this awesome timeless song
5. Be kind to me: mellow song, the good thing about the song is its chill out instrumentation... the melody is not powerful just easy... not something you'd remember or take an effort to.
6. He's a good lad: sweet melody, you can hear a little of the beatles here.
7. She was my lady: you'd definitely hear john lennon in this... but this doesnt have a strong melody... it just has a nice psychedelic feel to it.
8. Live in your love: kinda like elton john in a way.. the way the song starts. this song shifts all over the place... somewhat unhinged... not something i'd bother to listen to again or care to remember.
9. What a Change: not catchy nor worth remembering
10. I say again: Awesome starting instrumentation, quite trippy but no strength in the melody... i'd listen to the instrumentation again but i wont ever remember the vocals.
11. Come Again: ok this song is boring... the only thing remotely interesting is the instrumental part towards the end of it.
12. Truckin: dont be fooled by the country start... it has a cool 70s bridge part.
Don't buy this if you're not into collecting Bread. Only 5 catchy songs out of 12, you can get those 5 songs from other Bread compilation albums.
best background music ever! April 26, 2008

I'm not a Bread Head but I've listened to this album hundreds of times. The only other Bead album I ever owned was their first which I could never get into. In my opinion this is not an album to listen to. However, it is the best album to study with. I could put this album on and it was the best background music ever. I would put this on my turntable with auto start on and let it play at least 2 or 3 times while I studied. Then I could turn it over and do the same on the other side. It sounds real good but if you tried to really listen to it I think you would get bored. I mean if you want to actually listen to Bread I would definitely go for "Baby I'm a Want You" but you could never study to that because it would always grab your attention away. I would play this all the time when I studied and I would never be pulled away to listen to it. The amazing thing is that it helped me think when I stopped to think. I used to try all kinds of other albums back then and none of them were decent to study with. Either they would pull my attention away with the music or would bother me because they were just not good. I would have to say that this is the best album I know of to have on if you want music on but you don't really want to listen to it or be bothered by it. Let's admit it this is a really great album with really good music which doesn't try in any way to grab you. Most pop music is trying so hard to either force your ear, blow you away, overstate something or worse that you either listen to it if you're in the mood or shut it off. This is just really sweet, simple rock with nice harmony without a bad song. Probably the most unpretentious pop music I have ever heard. To me it is the best I have heard of the entire genre - America, James Taylor, Loggins & Messina, early Eagles, Cat Stevens... I would have never known that this was a good album if I didn't get it in the bargain bin one day. How can you lose for $.99? You cannot go wrong if you get a copy of this album. Just don't expect to be able to put it on and blow you away or evn be singing the songs a week later. Just put it on and do something else and it will grow on you in a very subtle way. It always got me after I turned it off or when it would get to the end I noticed how nice it was.
